The optics are already terrible for them. Democrats have zero interest in helping them rehabilitate their image with voters in order to save R skins from another shellacking.

(31,261 posts)The Democratic leader can call the chamber to order and conduct business. By keeping a republican in the chamber, a democratic takeover is stopped because the lone republican represents the majority party of the chamber.
